Fox 17 meteorologist calls out nasty comments from viewers

Yesterday 2 people died due to flooding. 2 tornadoes caused damage. Unfortunately, I had to cover The Masked Singer to warn people about the dangerous conditions moving in. Here are some comments I received while on air. I will always put lives ahead of a TV show. pic.twitter.com/DmRf2cSZzq

Katy Morgan posts insults slung at her online as she was warning people about severe storms in Middle Tennessee during Fox show "The Masked Singer"

A Nashville meteorologist fired back after getting a barrage of online insults when she broke into network programming to warn viewers about dangerous storms.

Fox 17 weather chief Katy Morgan posted a tweet Thursday with some of the angry comments she received on Facebook and in emails from people upset that interrupted Fox network show "The Masked Singer."

"Tell the weather girl to shut up," one read.

"When did Miss Piggy get on the Masked Singer?" another viewer wrote.

A different viewer called Morgan "an inconsiderate camera hog."

Morgan posted this along with the insults --

"Yesterday 2 people died due to flooding. 2 tornadoes caused damage. Unfortunately, I had to cover The Masked Singer to warn people about the dangerous conditions moving in. Here are some comments I received while on air. I will always put lives ahead of a TV show."

That tweet got more than 8,000 "likes" as of Saturday evening and drew hundreds of supportive comments.

Among Morgan's supporters were chief meteorologists at competing major network affiliates in Nashville.
